Thank you to everyone who participated in our AMA on Auth0 for AI Agents! For those who couldn’t join, we’ve put together the top five highlights from the session. You can also dive into the full discussion to explore detailed answers from our product experts by reading the complete discussion thread.
Here are the 
key takeaways:
What applications and services can I connect to my AI agents using Auth0?
Auth0 for AI Agents supports 30+ integrations with popular services such as Slack, Google, Figma, Dropbox, and Discord. The full list of integrations can be found here. You can also integrate with any service that uses OAuth2. Details on the setup process are here.
What specific type of Auth0 Application is recommended for AI Agents?
Users can configure an API (Resource Server) in Auth0 and then set it up as a custom client application to enable AI Agents. Read the Configure Token Vault documentation for more information.
What is the process to get external IDP tokens from the Token Vault during the exchange?
Developers can use Auth0’s Token Vault and the Connected Accounts flow to retrieve and store tokens from external IdPs. The connected account flow allows end users to authorise the access to the external IdP and the Token Vault stores the tokens and keeps them refreshed. Developers can build this using our SDKs to implement secure access to third-party APIs into their agentic flows.
How can access control mechanisms be designed to securely manage permissions in a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline, to ensure sensitive data isn’t exposed to unauthorized users?
You can use Auth0 Fine-Grained Authorization (FGA) to model user permissions of documents used by your RAG pipeline, and filter out any documents that the user doesn’t have access to at runtime when a query is made. Integrating Auth0 FGA into your RAG pipeline ensures that every document is checked against the user’s permission before its passed to an LLM. Detailed process information can be found in this document: Authorization for RAG- Auth0 for AI Agents. Also, check out this quickstart guide on how to implement authorization into your RAG pipeline: Authorization for RAG Quickstart - Auth0 for AI Agents.
What are the best practices for handling API keys for agents that need to connect to a user’s Google Calendar or Slack
It is recommended not to use API keys, and instead rely on the OAuth2 standard and use access tokens to connect to a user’s accounts and services like Google Calendar or Slack. Auth0’s Token Vault enables your users to provide consent to your AI agent to access third-party services on their behalf and securely manages and stores their access tokens.
